- Q. What does Symantec Antivirus do with
my files?
A. If a file is infected, Symantec Antivirus is configured
to clean the virus from the file. If this fails, the file will be 'Quarantined'
in a holding area where you can attempt to repair or delete it later. To view
Quarantined files click Quarantine from the View
menu.
- Q. When I double
click on the Symantec Antivirus icon in the System Tray, the heading Quarantine
says "Recommend Repair". What does this mean?
A. This means Symantec Antivirus has found a virus on your
computer but was unable to clean it at the time of discovery. It is now in
Quarantine and it is recommended you try to repair it. To view Quarantined
files click Quarantine from the View menu.
From here you can clean, delete or repair the file. Symantec Antivirus may
be able to repair or clean Quarantined files when new virus definition files
have been updated on your machine.
